Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Love and Pampering

An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao parted ways with Big Head. Big Head still had to return to the team; he was off today and got roped in by his boss.

An Zhiyuan drove, with Bai Xiao sitting in the passenger seat, looking a bit preoccupied.

“What’s wrong? This Jiang Nan has been dealt with; it looks like he’s scared to death, and doesn’t dare to play tricks. I’ll have someone keep an eye on him to ensure he turns himself in. I’m sure he won’t dare disobey you,” An Zhiyuan knew full well that once his wife got involved, Jiang Nan was lucky to have any way out.

He hadn’t forgotten Shang Kaijie from before.

His wife acted decisively, accurately, and ruthlessly!

Jiang Nan’s surviving was truly a stroke of luck.

“Jiang Nan isn’t the issue. I’m just uncomfortable with feeling like I’ve implicated my uncle’s family in this matter. Shang Kaiwen should be targeting me,” Bai Xiao was genuinely upset.

She didn’t want to drag her family into things, yet it seemed recognizing her mother’s relatives brought them no benefit and instead added an enemy.

“How do you know it was Shang Kaiwen behind this?”

When An Zhiyuan asked this, Bai Xiao knew she was aware of the relationship between Wang Ruo’an and Shang Kaiwen, but An Zhiyuan didn’t know.

“Wang Ruo’an is Shang Kaiwen’s number one pursuer; he’d probably commit murder and arson for her.” In a previous life, Wang Ruo’an did exactly that.

He hired someone to kill Shang Kaiwen’s rival; five family members were slaughtered overnight.

Due to this major case, police at all levels intervened to stabilize social unrest. Wang Ruo’an was caught because of this, yet he never implicated Shang Kaiwen, taking all the blame himself and being sentenced to death.

Wang Ruo’an didn’t stop at just this! He cleared every obstacle for Shang Kaiwen by any means necessary.

He could conquer gods and slay Buddhas.

There were several vicious incidents that were uncovered where Wang Ruo’an spared no expense for Shang Kaiwen in a previous life.

It was madness born out of love.

Unfortunately, in a past life, Shang Kaiwen did not end up marrying Wang Ruo’an, and his obsessive and frenzied actions weren’t his winning card.

The fall of the Wang Family, the father losing his son, ended up after investigations, showing Wang Ruo’an’s actions were his own doing.

The father wasn’t aware but still got affected, leading to the Wang Family’s downfall from the political stage, something Shang Kaiwen significantly contributed to.

This lifetime, it’s still Wang Ruo’an. To him, Shang Kaiwen is so wonderful that he would do anything for her.

“Wang Ruo’an’s deep affection for Shang Kaiwen makes it unnecessary for him to frame the Yu Family if not for her. There’s no historical enmity between the Wang Family and the Yu Family, so that’s the only reason I can think of,” Bai Xiao didn’t mention, of course she knew, but the rebirth was not something to reveal easily, even to someone as important as An Zhiyuan.

But it still wasn’t enough reason to disclose the rebirth.

An Zhiyuan pondered; given his upbringing in the compound, he was naturally aware of the Wang Ruo’an and Shang Kaiwen affair, but Bai Xiao broke it down, despite having no connections to that circle in the Capital City, even being a complete outsider.

Many times, his little wife seemed to possess inexplicable insights.

He could only rationalize this by thinking Jiang Shaoqing shared such details.

After all, Jiang Shaoqing was associated with that circle and Bai Xiao’s specific weapon against Shang Kaiwen.

This weapon was even willing.

What’s there to say?

“Now it seems! Shang Kaiwen holds lasting resentment towards you; how do you plan to counter that?”

An Zhiyuan wasn’t concerned for Shang Kaiwen.

To him, Shang Kaiwen, growing up together, was always a gentle, amiable girl, with high regard for others and situations, but after meeting Bai Xiao, everything seemed to change.

At least In An Zhiyuan’s heart, anyone opposing his wife must be in the wrong, a typical protective attitude.

But it wasn’t surprising for An Zhiyuan; anyone who had issues with Bai Xiao had themselves to blame, as Bai Xiao rarely initiated trouble, simply wanting to quietly fulfill her duties as a good doctor.

She never actively harmed anyone, and if they suffered, they deserved it.

If Jiang Shaoqing knew An Zhiyuan thought this way, he’d probably jump up, saying, “Is this how you protect your wife?”

“That Dean, we should visit, as he’s a key witness. If he doesn’t change his testimony, there’s no way my uncle can clear his name. I believe Jiang Nan will turn himself in tomorrow and afterwards the Dean’s confession would suffice to release my uncle.”

“You’re not worried about Wang Ruo’an’s father?”

This was unforeseen by An Zhiyuan; they knew each other’s background well, aware Wang Ruo’an avoided his father in his actions. If Wang knew, he would likely enact familial justice.

Wang, the prosecutor, was ruthlessly impartial.

Bai Xiao was indeed insightful.

“As for Wang, I won’t mention anything as you’re aware. If he learns about Wang Ruo’an’s actions, he would be the first to deal with Wang Ruo’an himself. I don’t worry he’d trouble my uncle. But once this matter ends, I intend to start dealing with Shang Kaiwen,” Bai Xiao didn’t hide from An Zhiyuan. Not explaining to him might lead to confusion and worry.

Deep inside, Bai Xiao knew An Zhiyuan might have erred for her sake.

Given it involved personal vengeance, Jiang Nan naturally wouldn’t press charges, but if someone else resisted, An Zhiyuan would be in trouble.

Legal repercussions could follow.

For An Zhiyuan, at his current rank, every step forward carried significant weight.

An Zhiyuan smiled, appreciating her words; Bai Xiao never truly hid anything from him. Many times, Bai Xiao treated him as a confidant in discussions.

“How do you wish to handle Shang Kaiwen? Jiang Shaoqing might already be taking action. I called him today, and we’ve assessed Shang Kaiwen’s situation. It’s clear she can’t remain, though we shouldn’t resort to murder; there’s no need for bloodshed on our hands. However, bringing down the Shang Family shouldn’t be hard.

Jiang Shaoqing has already accelerated his actions.”

An Zhiyuan wouldn’t let his wife be caught in danger; Shang Kaiwen was indeed a hidden threat.

Bai Xiao feigned anger, “You’re conspiring with Jiang Shaoqing to bully me, not even informing me about such major things.”

An Zhiyuan held her hand warmly, “You, do I not understand you? Even if I didn’t tell, you would act regardless. I just don’t want this matter to worry you. Sometimes I don’t know what grudge Shang Kaiwen has with you? But whatever you wish to do, I’ll support you.”

Bai Xiao sighed, such a man was a blessing, “Aren’t you scared I might do bad things?”

Leaning on An Zhiyuan’s shoulder, her dark eyes focused on him, feeling content. This man doted on her tremendously; she didn’t know whether it was good or bad.

“What bad things could you do? You are genuinely kind-hearted and never attack unless provoked, repaying offenses tenfold. To anyone showing you a shred of kindness, you give back a thousand times, even to unrelated strangers, as long as it’s not excessive, you assist.

You certainly aren’t unreasonable; if you target Shang Kaiwen, then she must be in the wrong. I will forever stand by you, knowing you won’t do extreme things like Shao Ming. But if there’s crossing the line, it’s up to me, your man. Remember, whoever stands beneath the sky will protect you. As long as I’m alive, I’ll guard you each day, as a couple, we’re lifelong family, the most vital people for each other.”
